Abstract: 1,064,082. Laundering towels. KLEINEWEFERS G.m.b.H. Sept. 2, 1965, No. 37485/ 65. Heading D1A. Continuous towels are laundered in a continuous process by first rivetting or sewing the ends together and then passing them through a washing machine. The towels after being sewn together pass into a container 6 where they are stacked and cuttled prior to immersion in a washing solution in a bath 9. The towels are then cuttled in a holding container 15, where they remain for about half an hour in order that the washing solution has chance to dissolve the dirt and are then passed to a brushing section 28. They are then squeezed by rollers 32 and from there they travel to a hot rinsing section 33. The weakened solution from the tank 33 is allowed to run back into the brushing section 28. After the rinsing section 33 the towels are again squeezed then rinsed again in hot then cold water. The towels then pass to a trolley where they are stacked and then passed to a drying machine and the individual lengths are separated. Excess liquid may be recirculated in the U tubes 16, 17 by a pump 19 through a heat exchanger 20. Water from the last rinsing section may be passed back to either the impregnating section 9 or the hot rinsing section 28. The towels may be provided with plastics ends to facilitate sewing or riveting.

Title: An improved method of and apparatus for forming articles of polymerizable plastic compositions
Inventor: BRODERSON NEIL OTTO
IPC: B29C39/26
Filed: 1961-11-07
Abstract: A method of forming articles of polymerizable plastic composition, which comprises forming a suspension of light-reflecting lamellae in a polymerizable plastic composition in liquid form, introducing said suspension into a mould, contacting the free surface of the suspension with a member having an extended plane surface substantially co-extensive with said free surface, and subjecting said composition to oscillatory motion parallel to the free surface, while causing at least partial induration of said plastic composition.  A pearlescent polyester composition is made by mixing 200 gms. of viscous, sticky, unsaturated polyester resin, 4 gms. of synthetic pearlesence (37% by weight of solids and 63% amylacetate and diallylphthalate) and 0,20 c.c. of cobalt naphthenate (6% cobalt as metal) and 4 c.c. of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (6% peroxide in dimethyl phthalate).  Suitable pearlescent pigments comprise 0,1 to 0,4% guanine crystals derived from fish or 0,25 to 3,0% of inorganic lamellar pigments such as lead acid arsenates and phosphates and basic lead carbonate.  Accelerators may be applied to localized areas of either the oscillating member or the contacting surfaces of the mould and non-integral sheen obtained which may be controlled by the mode of relative movement.  The unsaturated polyesters are those which with added catalysts and accelerators and at elevated temperature pass through a gel state before becoming hard and rigid. They are the reaction product of various dibasic acids, both saturated and unsaturated, with various glycols dissolved in 20 to 50% of polymerizable monomer such as styrene, vinyltoluene, diallylphthalate or methyl methacrylate.  Catalysts specified are peroxidic catalysts such as benzoyl peroxide, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, cumene hydro-peroxide and t-butyl perbenzoate. Specified accelerators or promoters are amines, mercaptans, metallic oxides and naphthenates and quaternary amine compounds including long chain alkyl groups dissolved or dispersed in a suitable medium.  For use with benzoyl peroxide catalysed polyester resin it has been found that a 10% solution of lauryl trimethyl ammonium chloride in a mixture of 65% water and 35% "Butyl Cellosolve" (Registered Trade Mark) is suitable.  In an alternative embodiment of the invention an epoxy resin may be used instead of the unsaturated polyester resin.
